I've been investing in inverse and leveraged funds for the last 2 years. They're a valuable tool to gain exposure to other sides of positions, such as short ARKK (SARK) without having to worry about things such as options or short squeezes. Please reconsider any restrictions you may be considering.

I would like to see better enforcement of short sale rule (SSR) used by hedge funds. I would like to see more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports of SSR movements.
We need daily report on short positions, and a overall crackdown on naked shorting and dark pools. Fines should be served with jail time, if you fine someone a few million, when they make billions, there is no incentive to stop.
